what is soc2 certification

SOC 2 certification is an audit that evaluates how a service organization manages and protects customer data. Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), SOC 2 focuses on five Trust Service Criteria: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy.

Key Points:

• Security: Protects systems and data from unauthorized access.
• Availability: Ensures systems and services are available as agreed upon.
• Processing Integrity: Ensures systems operate correctly and deliver the right data.
• Confidentiality: Protects sensitive information from unauthorized access.
• Privacy: Protects personal information from unauthorized access.

There are two types of SOC 2 reports:

1. Type I: Evaluates the design of controls at a specific point in time.
2. Type II: Assesses the operational effectiveness of controls over a period of time.

Achieving SOC 2 certification demonstrates a commitment to data security and can enhance trust with customers and partners
